China offers 1 mln USD emergency aid to Palestinians
CHINA: China will offer 1 million U.S. dollars cash in emergency
humanitarian aid for the Palestinian National Authority to buy urgently
needed material, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement
on Tuesday evening.
China once again urged an immediate halt to military conflict by all
parties concerned to alleviate tensions in the region as soon as
possible.
Qin also called on all parties concerned to take concrete measures to
ease humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip. About 360 people have
been killed and 1,600 others injured by Israel’s air strikes on the Gaza
Strip since Saturday.
China voiced concerns over the escalation of tension in the region
immediately following the strikes, condemning any move that leads to
civilian casualties, opposing solving disputes by force and calling on
the parties concerned to exercise maximum restraint to resolve disputes
through dialogue.
